Ashraf (Setareh) Alikhani: Prisoner of the day
RAHANA: Ashraf Alikhani is a poet and a blogger who wrote in her blogs, Sabad, Sabad Setareh. She is also a social worker.
Alikhani was first arrested on 5 February 2010 when several Intelligence Ministry forces arrested her at her home and transferred her to Evin Prison. She was released on bail 16 days later. She was arrested again in June 2011 to begin serving her prison term.
One of the reasons for her arrest was cited by other bloggers as "calling a satellite television station and reading one of her poems."
Ashraf Alikhani was tried at Branch 15 of Tehran Revolutionary Court under Judge Salavati during August and September 2010 on charges of "assembly and collusion with the intent to commit crimes against national security through deliberate participation in street riots, propagating against the Islamic Republic of Iran through contacting an anti-revolutionary satellite network, sending emails, publishing internet content insulting to the Islamic state, blogging, and inciting others to participate in illegal gatherings, riots, and confrontation with the Islamic Republic, owning and using satellite receiver equipment." She was sentenced to three years in prison.
Branch 54 of Tehran Appeals Court upheld Alikhani's sentence in March 2011. She was arrested in June 2011 and is currently serving her sentence inside Evin Prison's Women's Ward.

با سلام
در شرایطی که یک هفته است به شدت مریض هستم و قلبم درد می‌کند، امروز دوشنبه ۲ خرداد از دایرهٔ اجرای احکام برای من نامه رسیده و نوشته که ظرف ۳ روز به دادسری اوین بروم و خود را تحویلِ زندان اوین دهم!
من هم علیرغمِ بیماری و ۱۰۰۰ مشکل، اما با افتخار و سربلندی به زندان خواهم رفت، چرا که حکومت اسلامی تصور کرده با زندان یا شکنجه یا اعدام میتواند مردم را خفه کند، غافل از اینکه هیچ دیکتاتوری پایدار نیست و این حکومت هم دیر یا زود میرود اما با نامی سیاه که ضدّ زن و ضعیف کش بوده !
من با این باور که حکومتی اینگونه بی انصاف، حکم زندان و احکام ظالمانه دیگر به بی گناهان و بی پناهان صادر می‌کند، فریاد میزنم که حتا اگر در زندان مثل پسر داییم بمیرم اما تن به خفّت و بی شرافتی نخواهم داد، این حکومت برای مردم هیچ کارِ مفیدی نکرده و فقط باعث بدبختی و فقر و فحشا و فساد بوده، و هزاران اعدام که همهٔ اینها ضدّ انسانی بوده، چون کشوری که اینقدر ثروت و ذخایر دارد و مردمی جوان، باید در آبادی و رفاه میبود اما جمهوریِ اسلامی نخواست مردم خوشبخت باشند!
حالا من به جرم این حرف‌ها میروم زندان؟ ایرادی ندارد، میروم، آنهم با غرور چون حق با من است و دروغ و کلکی در زندگی من نیست، خوشبختانه از جمهوری اسلامی دروغ و کلک را یاد نگرفته ام! حکومتی که در ابتدا گفت برادری، برابری، حکومت عدل علی! اما چیزی به جز نابرابری و ظلم انجام نداد، به خصوص در حق زنان و جوانان! نسل کشی و همه جور سرکوب و تحقیر و هرچه دلش خواست بدون در نظر گرفتن وجدان انسانی انجام داد. حالا این زندگی با تحمل حقارت چه ارزشی دارد؟ مرگ در راه آزادی هزار بار به خفّت و خفقان می‌ارزد، انسان سالم تن به پستی و خفقان نمیدهد!
مأمورین اگر دوست دارند باز هم بیایند و همهٔ دارو ندار مرا توقیف کنند! وبلاگم را مسدود کنند! هر چه میخواهند بر این زنِ تنهای بی پناه فرود آورند! مرا باکی نیست چون حرف غیر حقیقت نزده ام.
در ضمن به پدرم هم اخطار آمده که اگر این خانم یعنی من، اگر تا ۲۰ روز به اوین معرفی نشوم، وثیقهٔ او را به نفع دولت ضبط میکنند! نمیدانم باید به این اخطار دومی بخندم یا نه!؟
به هر حال رنسانس ایرانیان مسیر خود را طی می‌کند و بسوی آزادی و برابری پیش خواهد رفت، به امید آنروز
زنده باد آگاهی، آزادی، برابری، آبادی، امنیت، صلح، احترام، و حکومتِ مردمی
ستاره.

I read all her peoms and I
by Babak K. on Sat Mar 10, 2012 06:19 AM PSTI read all her peoms and I truely enjoyed them. She is a rare talent for these days. I want to ask everybody to read her peoms and be a judge. I picked one of her peoms but all are good:
چراغ آسمان خاموش
چراغ خانه ها خاموش
تمام شهر تاريك است و بس دلگير
و روز و شب ندارد فرق
قلم سنگين
ورق تيره
و لبهامان فرو بسته
و تن ها خسته و مجروح
و فكر و ذهنمان درگير
به دست و پايمان زنجير
تمام بند بند استخوانهامان پر از درد است
***
فضا بسيار دلگيرست و وحشت حاكم مطلق
و بوي مرگ مي آيد
قفس ها ، تنگتر از قبر
قناريهاي همسايه، نميخوانند
و مرغ عشق ، عاشق نيست
و من تنها
و تو تنها
و تن ها جملگي تنها
***
چراغ خانه خاموش است و من بسيار ميترسم
من از تنهايي و تاريكي اين خانه ميترسم
و بغضم در گلو مانده
پر از فريادم اما ساكت و خاموش
دهانم دوخته با نخ
نخي از تارهاي عنكبوت پير انباري
و من از عنكبوت و مار و ، از كفتار ميترسم
من ترسو
توي ترسو
خدا هم مثل ما ترسو

Poet Stetareh: Iranian Renaissance shall continue its course
by Azadeh Azad on Fri Mar 09, 2012 12:10 PM PSTI have never heard of any other regime in the human history that forbade poetry and reciting it.
I am so proud of you, dear Setareh, for being an active participant of this rennaissance for democracy and equality. You and other political prisoners are the true daughters and sons of the Iranian nation. I and other Iranians everywhere support you wholeheartedly.
We shall overcome!
Azadeh

Iranian women from all walks of life have been at the forefront of this resistance against IRI and as a result have been paying a hefty price for their resistance. These brave Shir-zan dream and aspiration for a free Iran with equal rights is being taken hostage by the IRI and we owe it to her with our full support and a sustain campaign for their immediate and unconditional freedom. My salute to each and every one of these Shir-del mobarez
'Hambastegi' is the main key to victory

her "crime": "Reading one of her poems on a sattelite station"..
by Roozbeh_Gilani on Fri Mar 09, 2012 06:54 AM PSTThe day will come, when this patriotic lady and many tens of thousands of other Iranian political prisoners will be freed by the mighty hands of Iranian people. When their tormenters and prosecuters will be tried in Iranian people's courts and people's justice will be executed upon each and everyone of them, without mercy....
"Personal business must yield to collective interest."
She is right. This dictatorship will go as well. Shame, shame.
